An Invitation to Turn
Commentators see this verse as a gracious invitation from Wisdom, whom they identify as Christ. The call is to "turn" from sin in response to God's correction. Matthew Henry notes that while we cannot turn on our own, God promises the necessary grace, saying, "Behold, I will pour out my Spirit unto you." The offer is a command to repent coupled with the divine power to do so.
